Unreleased demo version of "When Christine Comes Around" backed with "Jezebel", another unearthed gem from the early 70s. Issued in a pocket sleeve with art by Avi Spivak.

Charlie Tweddle - Unseen Sound Of Music LP

Born and raised in Kentucky but calling Northern California home for some time now, Charlie Tweddle is an outsider polymath: musician, artist, taxidermist, designer of cowboy hats. And while that last one (imagine a wearable ten-gallon peyote trip) brought him a degree of notoriety among a certain swath of the showbiz elite beginning in the early seventies (Cher and Reggie Jackson are fans of his hats), it's his music that has been peaking the curiosity of underground and private press fiends for some years now.

The Zoomers - Exist LP

Finally, I stumbled upon something that I felt existed - a recorded material by an original eighties rock'n'roll band from Baton Rouge. Zoomers came from the same bayou as this radio show, our good old town- but these boys ain't swamp kids. This is a mind-altering, exciting, fast post-punk piece, rock'n'roll jewel by three local guys taking roads less taken and getting where no other band went before. But don't get me wrong, this is not so weird, that you might have difficulties getting into it. It's very much strongly embedded in a good old rock'n'roll tradition. You can hear Modern Lovers, 60's nuggets, Bowie even psychedelia in these grooves, but what really happens is that these dudes without any pretensions achieved something what many other more serious bands just strive for. Legend says that they were stoned out of mind recording this album, but it looks like drugs hit some special creative spots in heads of these people so it all came out perfect.
Certainly, something that our local Baton Rouge bands could get a lesson from if nothing else. After a DIY cassette release in 1981, this is finally available on vinyl.

David Arvedon - The White Album 2x LP

In this double album named after the famous Beatles' album but having little or no artistic relationship to the same, we have decided to throw aside all preconceived notions of what music has been and recreate the wheel in a rocking fashion, utilizing a myriad of miscellaneous and sometimes famous musicians to put together a concoction of je ne sais quoi. There is a giant spider picking away at and eating your face one piece of flesh at a time, Larry. I like slow songs, and I like fast songs. I like rock 'n' roll, soul, and jazz. I like bizarre subjects for my material, such as the sentence I randomly threw into this paragraph previously, which has absolutely nothing to do with anything and absolutely anything to do with nothing, but then again, Charles, I hope you enjoy sifting through this material and listening to stuff that might challenge your notion of reality because I believe there is so such thing as reality. So there! Now the ball is in YOUR court. Listen to this album. I dare you to!

J.D. Buhl - Little Victories LP

J.D. Buhl is Berkeley, California's best-kept pop secret. After fronting an early version of late-70s new wave group the Jars, he led his own band the Believers through the first half of the 1980s. These bands existed during an exciting period of music history, a time when pop-driven rock n' roll had no rules, expectations or boundaries. Little Victories 1978-1985 hand picks twelve songs from the rare and out of print J.D. Buhl catalog (some unreleased) and presents them in a complete, cohesive collection. J.D. says it best, as he describes his songwriting as being "clever and hooky, about drive, feel and guitar riffs and out to capture imaginations." If you're a sucker for passionate vocals and music with a danceable beat, give J.D. Buhl a listen. Recommended for fans of the Nerves, Paul Collins Beat, the Plimsouls, the Go-Gos, the Textones, Joe "King" Carrasco and the Fleshtones.

Moondogs - When Sixteen Wasn't So Sweet 12"

One afternoon in October of 1979, smack in the middle of my dreams after a night on the graveyard shift, I was awakened by an insistent knocking on the door of my apartment. If it wasn't my old friend Danny, along with two guys I had never laid eyes on. One was carrying various pieces of drum set. The other held a bass.

Danny and I had been in a cover band together when I was in high school and he was just out. We had fallen out of touch for a few years. He had gotten married, tried to go straight and narrow, donated his guitar and amp to the church. As of late he'd been darkening my doorstep on a regular basis. I owned two guitars. I showed him some songs I'd written and we'd flail away at them for hours, Danny singing sweet harmony. Now what?

I stepped aside and they piled through the doorway and began to set up their equipment. Turns out the other two were brothers, Tim on drums and Greg on bass. We blasted away the afternoon. When a hazy dusk was falling over Canoga Park, I opened the front door for a breath of fresh air and the neighbors gave us a standing ovation. I thought, "This is it…We're bound for stardom." Man, was I ever wrong.

Things fall apart, as all things must. This record, if nothing else, says "The Moondogs were here."

The Zoomers - From The Planet Moon 7"

Springing forth from the same mutant milieu/miasma/non-scene as fellow state capital punks the Shitdogs and disintegrating faster than a fourth quarter Saints lead, The Zoomers – perhaps moreso than any other punk/post-punk group from Louisiana – likely resembled their surroundings the least. Their lone 1981 single, pressed up in an edition of a few hundred, is the perfect background music to a This Is Your Brain On Drugs PSA. Sonically more akin to the UK bedroom DIY messthetic, but philosophically American fuck up. Reissued here with the beautiful space-punk picture sleeve originally hand-painted by Zoomer and most thrown out the window of a speeding car whilst joyriding on a levee.

Laurice - Balladeer CD

International recording star Laurice is well known as a pioneer in both punk rock and dance music. What is not more generally known is that Laurice is also an accomplished singer and songwriter in the smooth jazz and ballad genres. Laurice has finally released some of his most successful ballad songs, some going as far back as 1965. A few of these tracks are original recordings, such as Foolin', Act Up,
and Such A Man, Laurice's tribute to Tom of Finland. Some are brand new, such as Afraid, Christmas Valentine and You Are My Soul, a gift to his partner of more than twenty four years, Larry Norton. Others are recordings of old favorites that Laurice has always
wanted to record, such as Go Away and Choices. But whether old or new, the sheer versatility and powerful range of this extremely talented artist shines through at every turn. Laurice always wanted to be different in his interpretation of each song, and that
individuality shows in every track. Age hasn't dimmed his voice, and Laurice somehow always seems to sound fresh and new with every melody that he sings. Enjoy this choice bouquet of aural candy from a master of the ballad genre.

Pinball Summer - Movie Soundtrack LP

A cynical studio synthesis of the best pop of the late last decade – SPARKS, NICK LOWE, DWIGHT TWILLEY, TODD RUNDGREN – updated with all the right New Wave and Palovian power pop flourishes – 20/20, SHOES, CARS, CHEAP TRICK – guaranteed to bring all the boys to the yard. The work of studio musician and composer tandem JAY BOIVIN and GERMAIN GAUTHIER who have really done their homework with dumber-than-dumb lyrics and hooks bigger than some of the holes in this movie's almost perfunctory plot. You'd be forgiven for mistaking the title track for a lost SPEEDIES cut or 'Summer Girls' for the ultimate, sell-out 10CC soft-rocker. There's rockers as well, like the RASPBERRIES-styled ode to the blonde, high-waisted-jean-and-no-bra-wearing female character 'Sally Joy,' which wonderfully and mindlessly rhymes the words 'chance,' 'dance' and 'pants' in a verse that rivals the early BEACH BOYS. I'd also like to imagine some prospective, post-prom stud putting on 'Voyeur's Motel' as he starts up his father's car and his date melting in the passenger seat.

Laurice - G.A.Y.D.A.R. LP

LAURICE is an out and out pioneer both of music and gay activism, and decided to make GAYDAR a sexual calling card for his fans around the world. This album is totally gay from the first track to the last. BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN leads the pack with a stomping rock dance beat that entertains from beginning to end. The hot sexual heat of BIG BOY, HOT MALIBU NIGHTS and FANTASY MAN will shock the listener with its lewd upfront lyrics. DOWN THE ROAD, BUSTED, and PARTY highlight the hang loose lifestyles of some in the gay subculture. With a more thoughtful and pounding dance beat, FLY and the titled GAYDAR track draw attention to the sexual longing of the older gay man sometimes in hot pursuit of a younger punk to decorate bedroom and dungeon sex antics. The final track, SUGAR SUGAR is the well known pop standard with a very decided gay slant to the lyric. LAURICE was asked to send in a version of the song for a New York radio charity show. The record company liked it so much that they decided to include it on the album.

Charlie Tweddle - "Knee Deep Blues" LP

Born and raised in Kentucky but calling Northern California home for some time now, Charlie Tweddle is an outsider polymath: musician, artist, taxidermist, designer of cowboy hats. And while that last one (imagine a wearable ten-gallon peyote trip) brought him a degree of notoriety among a certain swath of the showbiz elite beginning in the early seventies (Cher and Reggie Jackson are fans of his hats), it's his music that has been peaking the curiosity of underground and private press fiends for some years now.

On Knee Deep Blues, the third release of the oddball troubadour's work from the Mighty Mouth label, Tweddle presents a more straightforward roots sound, albeit one still stridently unconcerned with any sort of commercial acceptance. Comprising simple, stripped-down blues and country numbers about forlorn, heartbroken loners and the bartenders who love them, the set finds Tweddle slightly askew of rebel songwriters like Townes Van Zandt or Blaze Foley, but still places him firmly within that tradition. While it doesn't have any extended forays into hillbilly musique concrète, a la side two of Fantastic Greatest Hits, Knee Deep Blues is indeed a Charlie Tweddle record, so don't be surprised to hear a croaking frog accompanying a slide riff or a squawking chicken giving Charlie some vocal assistance. To wit, this isn't exactly your daddy's country music, unless of your course your daddy is a milliner with a penchant for hallucinatory taxidermy.

For all of his eccentricities, though, Tweddle is at heart a unique and fantastically talented songwriter, effortlessly combining his deep southern roots with the west coast psychedelic tradition. Along with The Midnight Plowboy and Fantastic Greatest Hits, Knee Deep Blues completes an essential trilogy of outsider Americana and further establishes Tweddle as one of the genre's most talented and overlooked characters

Second installment of solo material from The Psychopaths band leader. All songs recorded in the early 70's and are now seeing the vinyl treatment for the first time. Some tracks were taken from the impossible-to-find The Most Unforgettable Tree We Ever Met 8-track tape. Pressed in an addition of 300 hand-numbered copies, with the first 50 packaged in a red silk-screened jacket. Listen to Simply For The Asking HERE

Laurice - Best Of Laurice Vol. 2 LP

Similar to Nikola Tesla, Leif Erikson and Kalashnikov – trail-blazers who received either nothing or ridicule for the pioneering efforts – Welsh musician/producer Laurice went unnoticed and was forced to watch from the terraces as an entire genre's worth of musicians made millions passing through the hole he opened in the border fence separating tuff psychedelia and camp glam rock. Known to collectors for a handful of some of the most aberrantly catchy yet lyrically un-commercial 45s of all-time (sample titles: 'Flying Saucers Have Landed,' 'I'm Gonna Smash Your Face In', Laurice's signature style and approach anticipated both punk thrash and post-punk disco trash. And, unlike Bowie and Bolan, Laurice wasn't just pouting and putting on make-up for the camera.

Now, nearly 50 years later, Laurice shows no signs of stopping and is back with a second installment of demo material deemed unfit for mass consumption in the soft, straight, progressive 70s. These songs have finally been given their green light to assault the virginal ears of the world. Amazing, self-spun gems cut as demos in studios like Apple and Abbey Road. And don't think the divine Mister L doesn't have more in his personal peepshow booth to tease you with either. Later this year, Laurice will unleash an album of all-new material, reverently and respectfully entitled G.A.Y.D.A.R. Look for it from Mighty Mouth Music. Watch Flying Saucers Have Landed video HERE

Charlie Tweddle - Fantastic Greatest Hits 2x LP

Deluxe all-analog reissue of the 1974 private press classic cut direct from the master tapes. Includes a bonus LP of recently unearthed home-recorded gems from the early 70s. www.charlietweddle.com

70's rock meets mainstream British pop in an explosive style fusion of pre-punk, glam, psychedelic and gay themed musical gems by controversial British rocker LAURICE. Recorded in the early to mid-70's at various studios in London, UK, these tracks, many previously unreleased, demonstrate the versatility and originality of a singer-songwriter who challenged society's rules. British rock was always LAURICE's roots. From the pre-punk underground classic hits When Christine Comes Around/I?m Gonna Smash Your Face In to the heavily impassioned openly gay anthem He?s My Guy and the highly sexualized gay lyrics of Wild Sugar, to the S&M master-slave darkside of Born To Serve, LAURICE constantly challenged himself and his musical peers to explore out of the mainstream music box. His influences ranged from Lou Reed and Cream, to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and various 70's British pop bands. Take a listen to this treasure trove of incredible tracks. LAURICE was a star, far ahead of his time, and suffered mightily for fighting the conventions of the day.

Grudge - When Christine Comes Around 7"

Hard to know where to start with this one, but a special commendation is due to the B side. Sounding like a 1910 Fruitgum Company or Ohio Express backing track with a camp lead vocal, a very catchy sing-along chorus, assorted screams and an Elvis impersonation coming on more like Mae West in the middle eight - this is one incredible release! I’ve had this single for over 25 years and on the rare occasions I take it out to play it never fails to get a reaction….

Spiv - Oh You Beautiful Child 7"

Oh You Beautiful Child is a great example of the perfect Glam Cruncher with its slap-back compressed handclaps, cutting lead, catchy hook and exuberant vocals, it's up there with the best. Little Child starts off like Dear Prudence but then turns into this Radio Birdman/ New Christ styled rocker with the vocalist sounding uncannily like Rob Younger! The single was produced and the A side written by Laurie Marshall - the same guy who was behind Grudge's When Christine Comes Around/ I'm Gonna Smash Your Face In, Paul St. John (The Flying Saucers Have Landed) and Weeny Bopper (David, Donny And Michael). If anyone knows Laurie I would love to hear from him (email through my profile page). Laurie Marshall also released some Disco stuff, but I'm unsure if it's the same person.

The Avengers - Be A Caveman / I Told You So 7"

'Be A Cave Man' is a winner all the way with it's uptempo teen beat groove and 'put down' lyrics...."Be a cave man - keep her in line"...the boys would have the woman's liberation after them these days of course....But who cares? this was 1965 when men were men.

Here's what Gerry Blake said about 'Be A Cave Man'

"I'm not sure we even thought about how politically incorrect Caveman was. We just liked the song. It would get people dancing for sure. I don't think the girls thought much about it either. It was a different time back then. It was just music. We weren't dragging any girls behind the stage by the hair. Although some of them might have gone for it! By the way, the "monkey" sounds was one of us trying to make monkey sounds. Didn't cut it. So Gary Paxton just looped it and sped the recording up. I was the Tarzan yell."
